Eat Little Almonds
Chapter 280 All Fear Stems From Insufficient Firepower
The radio cut off abruptly.
But the information revealed in that short passage sent chills down one’s spine.
“Oh my god, seven days ago? Isn’t that the seventh day after death? Is it time for the spirit to return?”
“Those four didn’t remember the incantation, they’re doomed!”
“Scared the hell out of me, gotta chant the incantation a couple of times to calm my nerves, Miao Fo Yan Ni, Xin An Du Kong!”
The people watching the livestream were all discussing it, and Zhao Ziyue, as the only girl, was clearly frightened.
“That… what the radio said is probably fake, right?”
“Not necessarily, anything can happen in a dungeon like Silent Town.” Qiao Yu shook his head.
“Alright, alright, make way, didn’t it say the corpses were under our feet? I’ll try it out and see! Earth Explosion!”
Yang Xiangdi, holding his staff, directly cast an Earth Explosion spell.
All fear stems from insufficient firepower.
Boom!
A huge pit was blown open in the ground where they had been standing.
“Holy crap! They really were under our feet!”
Yang Xiangdi exclaimed in surprise because seven dark things had indeed been blasted into the air.
“One Sword! Pingyang!”
Ma Fei immediately followed up with a skill, and those seven dark things instantly turned into hundreds of dark fragments.
Qiao Yu stepped forward and said with a strange expression.
“Calm down, you guys, they’re just seven ordinary corpses.”
“So they’re just corpses?! Scared me, I thought it was a ghost.”
Zhao Ziyue patted her chest with some lingering fear, then looked at the ground with some confusion.
There was a photo there. Zhao Ziyue picked it up and found that it was a photo of a man and a woman together.
However, the woman’s face was covered by a dark brown substance, leaving only the man’s sinister face visible.
Zhao Ziyue suddenly remembered that the radio had said something about a man who sleepwalked and beat his wife’s head into a pulp, right?
Thinking of this, Zhao Ziyue felt a chill run down her spine.
Could this man be the murderer?
As Zhao Ziyue looked at the photo with this thought in mind, she suddenly noticed the man in the photo slowly curling the corner of his mouth, revealing a cold smile.
“Ah!!”
Zhao Ziyue screamed and threw the photo away.
“What’s wrong?” Qiao Yu asked in surprise.
“There’s something evil! There’s something evil in that photo!” Zhao Ziyue pointed at the photo she had thrown away.
“Oh? Really?” Qiao Yu’s expression visibly became excited.
Another chance to get some Fierce Aura value!
He picked up the photo with his blade.
At this moment, the face of the man in the photo, which had been gloomy, was now filled with fear.
As if he had encountered some kind of natural enemy.
“Good, don’t be afraid.”
Qiao Yu smiled kindly.
“Tell me, are you acting alone? Are you the only ghost nearby?”
The man in the photo nodded in terror.
Then he saw Qiao Yu’s face darken.
Shred!
The photo was split in two by the Crescent Moon Blade, then spontaneously combusted, turning directly into ashes.
[Fierce Aura Value +50]
“Just this little bit of Fierce Aura value isn’t even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth, what a bummer!” Qiao Yu complained in his heart.
His Crescent Moon Blade was still more than eight thousand Fierce Aura value points away from reaching its ultimate stage, how long would it take to get there at this rate?
“Help!”
A cry for help came from not far away. A frail little girl was running barefoot on the desolate roads of Silent Town.
Her smooth, fair feet were cut and bleeding by the gravel, which was heartbreaking to see.
Ma Fei and the others instantly showed a solemn expression. They weren’t the ignorant youngsters they were when they first entered the Otherworld. What good could a little girl appearing in this kind of dungeon be?
Qiao Yu’s eyes lit up, it was like getting a pillow when you were falling asleep!
“Little sister, don’t be afraid! Tell big brother, what’s wrong?”
Qiao Yu immediately went over to her. To avoid scaring her away, he specifically put away his Crescent Moon Blade.
“Big brother, my mommy fell down. She’s at home right now. I can’t help her up, I’m so scared.”
Little pearls of tears kept falling from the little girl’s eyes, looking very frail.
“Is that so? You really are a jinx.”
“Huh?” The little girl was a little confused.
“No, I mean, take big brother over there, big brother will help you solve it!”
Qiao Yu said seriously, giving Ma Fei and the others a reassuring look.
He followed the little girl to an abandoned building. After climbing a few floors, the little girl pointed to an iron door, trembling.
“Big brother, this is my home.”
“Alright!”
“Bang!”
The sturdy iron door was kicked open by Qiao Yu in one kick, and he strode inside.
The room was very narrow, and the overhead fluorescent light was flickering.
Then Qiao Yu saw a large patch of blood on the wall directly in front of him!
The bloodstains looked fresh, as if they had been left not long ago.
Next to the bloodstains was a dark wooden door. Qiao Yu walked forward and had just grabbed the doorknob when—
“Knock knock knock!”
A series of short, rapid knocks suddenly came from behind the wooden door.
It was as if someone was frantically knocking on the wooden door from behind, with such force that Qiao Yu, who was holding the doorknob, could feel the vibrations.
An ordinary person would have been scared out of their wits by this kind of fright.
But what kind of person was Qiao Yu?
Chua!
The wooden door was instantly pulled open by Qiao Yu, revealing a ghastly pale face behind the door. That incomplete face still had a hint of a sinister smile as it stared fixedly at Qiao Yu.
However, after a while, a human-like look of bewilderment appeared on that ghostly face.
Strange, why isn’t this kid afraid of me?
“That’s it? Is that all?” Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow. “Do you have any fierce ghost brothers and sisters? Call them out too.”
The ghostly face tilted its head slightly, its bewilderment growing even more.
What… what nonsense is this kid talking about?
“Ooooooo!”
The ghostly face lost its patience and directly opened its mouth to bite at Qiao Yu’s neck.
“If you don’t have any brothers and sisters, then you’re done for.”
Qiao Yu slapped the ghostly face, sending it into a free-spinning three-and-a-half rotation, then finished off the ghostly face with a single slash.
[Fierce Aura Value +100]
Seeing Qiao Yu walk out of the house unharmed, a look of surprise appeared on the little girl’s face, but she quickly concealed it.
“Little sister, I’ve helped you solve the problem in your house.” Qiao Yu reached out and ruffled the little girl’s hair.
“Wow? Really?! Big brother, you’re so amazing!” The little girl’s eyes were full of stars.
“Hehe, big brother has something even more amazing, it’s a treasure, would you like to see it?” Qiao Yu’s expression suddenly became a bit lewd.
“Really? Are we going to see it here? Wouldn’t that be inappropriate!” The little girl’s face turned red, looking somewhat shy.
“It’s okay, I’ll show it to you right now!”
Pfft!
As soon as he finished speaking, the little girl saw the tip of a blade emerge from her chest. The dense Fierce Aura instantly began to corrode her body.
She raised her head and stared at Qiao Yu’s Tang Sanzang mask, her expression instantly changing from innocence to rage as she scolded.
“You even ambush little girls? I have never seen such a shameless person!”
